Methinks Chinese bootleggers saw Spaceballs, and totally misunderstood "May the Schwarz be with You."
The bootlegger may do as he likes...and chopping off Sean Bean's head in this case means putting it on another, more unlikely body.
These and more hilarious losses-in-translation can be seen at Rocket News 24.

Arnold has the greatest quotes of all time. If you've never listened to them and you like metal you should check out Austrian Death Machine. The lead singer imitates Arnold perfectly and portrays Arnold as the front man for the metal band. Hilarious!

I wish these had the actors photoshopped into the bootleg scenes, that would just make GoT2's Thor-Bean cameo the best thing ever.

Jar Jar: "Ohhh! Meesa so happy to be meeting yousa, Mista Matrix!"
Matrix: "You're a funny guy, Jar Jar. I'm going to kill you last."
15 minutes later on Queen's starship...Matrix grabs Binks by the throat.
Jar Jar: "Yousa say yousa gonna kill me last!"
Matrix: "I lied." (Grabs Binks' tongue and chokes him to death with it.)
2 minutes later...
Handmaiden: "Jar Jar Binks sure is quiet, is everything alright?"
Matrix: "He's just tongue tied."

@DrAbraxas Dutch grabs Jar-Jar and jams his head into the engine of Anakin's podracer, then he test-fires the engine, burning Jar-Jar to a crisp.
Anakin walks up after hearing the engines go off: "Wizard! The podracer's working great, Dutch! Hey... where's Jar-Jar?"
"Don't worry, Ani... He's just exhausted."

Actually, now that I've had time to think about it (and now the edit window has closed), I take it back. It wouldn't be Dutch, it'd be John Matrix, because that would allow for the reveal of the most feared Sith Warrior ever... Darth Bennett.
"I-I don't need the lightsaber, John. I can beat you! I DON'T NEED NO LIGHTSABER!"

Funny because it's almost certainly true. That actually makes a lot of sense.

A few years ago I was at a market in China where they sold bootleg stuff, came across a video game with Shaquille O'Neal on the cover. Giant letters plastered on the box:
MUHAMMAD ALI
Just to spoil the fun: notice the "18 in 1" plastered on the top and side, there is a good chance that the cover is actually indicative of what is in the box ... though not quite in the format it implies.

Also, did anyone else just notice the "18 in 1" at the top? Please tell me they somehow made 18 Star Wars films with Schwarzenegger in them. The sheer amount of one-liners produced alone could feed the internet for a century!

To be fair, adding Ahnuld to the prequel trilogy would've improved it at least 500%. Bonus points for adding someone who would always shoot first.
Thanks a whole ton for this & the article on bootlegs, LYT! And if anyone needs more bootleg cover fun, check out these Syrian knock-offs that intrepid reporters found in Nairobi. The results are...quite astounding, to say the least.
